Even when warm (my oil has never been hot) I never see less than 60psi, even at 1000 rpm. I fear for your front cover gasket. Mine came miss-aligned for Adkins. It is easy to miss-align the nylon and o-ring and get a leak there. But I suggest you just forget about that and keep pushing that turbo to the limit. :-) Dave Leonard I've noticed lower oil pressures lately. Between 30 and 40 at 3500 rpm or so when hot. I need to double check the calibration, but was wondering what people consider normal.
